Narrowleaf Cattail NARROWLEAF The Klamath and Modoc peoples of northern California and southern Oregon made flexible CATTAIL baskets of twined cattail. Cattails were also twined to form mats of varying sizes for sleeping, sitting, Typha angustifolia L. working, entertaining, covering doorways, providing plant symbol = TYAN shade, and a myriad of other uses.

This complexity is primarily due to high variability of pollutants, contaminants and related parameters. The macrophytes are plausible bio-indicators of the pollution load and level of metals within the aquatic systems than the wastewater or sediment analyses. The potential ability of aquatic macrophytes in natural water bodies receiving municipal sewage from Solapur city was assessed.

  • Asparagus Densiflorus 'Sprengeri'
    FPS051 Asparagus densiflorus ‘Sprengeri’ Sprengeri Asparagus Fern1 Edward F. Gilman, Ryan W. Klein, and Gail Hansen2 Introduction ‘Sprengeri’ Asparagus Fern is a rounded herbaceous perennial that is used in the landscape for its attractive, fine-textured foliage. This 1 to 4 foot-tall plant has true leaves that are scale-like and inconspicuous. The structures that most refer to as leaves are actually leaf-like branchlets called cladophylls. These tiny cladophylls are linear, flat- tened structures that are bright green in color. They occur singly or in groups of 3 or more at a node. The stems of this plant emerge directly from the ground and become woody and spiny, so be careful when handling this species. The thorns cause significant irritation to many people Figure 1.

  • Fasciation. Lumina C
    346 The Ohio Naturalist. [Vol. III, No. 3, FASCIATION. LUMINA C. RIDDLE. The phenomena of fasciation are sufficiently striking to attract the attention of the most casual observer, and the malformation occurs so frequently that nearly every person has seen one or more cases of it. It manifests itself usually by a remarkable broadening and flattening of the stem, crowded phyllotaxy and often spiral twisting and splitting of this broadened axis, although the portion of the plant affected and the exact character of the growth varies with the nature of the plant. Those having the rosette habit throughout their entire life, as the common dande- lion, show fasciation in the peduncle of the inflorescence.

  • Typha Domingensis Common Names: Cattail, Tule Family: Typhaceae (Cattail) “Cattail Caterpillar at Work.”
    Christina Mild RIO DELTA WILD FLORA FACTS Scientific Name: Typha domingensis Common Names: Cattail, Tule Family: Typhaceae (Cattail) “Cattail Caterpillar at work.” What Are Cattails Good For? When I think about the miraculous food the Hebrews discovered as they fled away from Egypt and through the desert, I have a recurring question. Was this food some special act of divination, or did these mortals suddenly look about them and take notice of what is continually provided for us? There are all sorts of possibilities in many of the common plants we encounter. Consider the ubiquitous cattail. When is the last time you saw anyone harvesting any part of a cattail for use? One species of cattail was imported into Tasmania following the sinking of the Titanic. The light, fluffy seed heads were ideal for compressing into floats and other buoyancy devices such as lifebuoys. Predictably, the imported species has become a bit of a pest. I had quite forgotten the tasty crunch of cattail shoots. They’re a delight, boiled for a few minutes and served like asparagus. As a college student, I passed them growing in roadside ditches on the walk home from campus. Cattail harvesting is far more tantalizing than required reading. Speaking of college, most of us look upon “Basket Weaving” as a waste of tuition dollars. In all fairness, one might examine this website: <www.basketmakers.org> to reconsider the notion. The information provided about cattails and their use is extensive. Basket weavers have moved up several notches in my mental notebook. Here are two bits of information the website provides: “Cattail grows in the anoxic soil of marshes where there is little oxygen.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE WORKSHOP ON THE CREATION OF CHANNELS AND PONDS WITHIN CATTAIL MARSHES ON THE BAY OF QUINTE, AND A CONCEPTUAL PLAN. PREPARED BY ANDY SMITH BAY OF QUINTE REMEDIAL ACTION PLAN JANUARY, 1995 PREFACE On August 17 and 18, 1994 a workshop was held to bring together scientists and members of , , the Bay of Quinte Implementation Advisory Committee (formally the Public Advisory Committee) to discuss enhancing Quinte wetlands by dredging channels and ponds in dense cattail stands. The goals for the workshop were to review the impacts of this technique, discuss its advantages and disadvantages, and design a new channel/pond system. This report is a summary of the workshop and a conceptual plan for a project based on recommendations from the workshop. If implemented this experimental/demonstration project will be studied to determine the effectiveness of creating open water areas within dense cattail stands for providing habitat for variety of species.
